Well after years of searching I finally got hold a Quicksilver Helium Thanks to Pete Porker!
This build has taken quite a while and a would like to point out a couple of things:

I am waiting on some blue Suntour pedal cages, black will do for now
I went with Ame Tris but ultimatley would like oakley .5's ( i have red and yellow but no blue hint hint)
I used a black seat and seat clamp as they are genuine Quicksilver items and hard to find in any colour but normally would have gone with blue items
The downtube sticker got scratched slightly DOH!

I would like to thank waza for his help with this build as well as Pete for the stickers and finding the frame for me! This build will have a couple of changes before I am done but this is it basically!
Heres a parts list:

Quicksilver Team Helium Frame re-chromed
Tange TRX forks re-chromed
Skyway race bars re-chromed
Nitto MX-2
Profile Gen 3 cranks re-chromed
Profile spider
Ame Tris NOS
Shimano DX lever NOS
Dia Compe MX1000 caliper
Elina Quicksilver seat NOS
Tange Quicksilver clamp
generic seat pole
Araya 7x rims NOS
Bullseye hubs NOS
Suntour pedals
Anlun chainring
Tange headset
Tioga Comp III tyres (blue/grey/green label) NOS

Nice to see it finally finished Reece. Looks great.

Hey! You dont put air there!!1 j/k





Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Bloody fantastic mate!!!
Just awesome - great parts selection.
Great piece of Aussie history right there...well worth the wait to see it built!

rockin!!!!!

That's a beauty!

wow, dat ting is so cool, nice job bro!

You must be proud. Looks great!

I keep coming back for a look Reece! Awesome build!

Nice work Reece. Really like the black and blue mix of parts.

Looking forward to a line up of all the Quickies some time.

Wow Reece, that is totally sweeeet...perfect colours and components.. Congrats

Beautiful mate, beautiful. Always loved the blue valve caps on those frames. Classic.

W O W !!!!!!!!!!!! that is a BEAUTIFULLLLLLL bike !!!!!!!!

Very nice!

Please explain the pneumatic valve on the down tube. Is it really made to accept helium inside the frame tubes?

I remember reading about those frames in the BMX Plus mags in the mid-80s (I was like 8). I don't recall if they ever made it to the states... very cool to see one of these rare frames built!

Sure did? The idea was to give the frame more strength..total gimmick, but a dam cool gimmick that got them a bunch of sales!

Awesome, awesome build Reece....the nicest Quicksilver build, I've ever seen and good work going for the OG Profile cranks...to be honest it would have been a let down (no pun intended)if you have used the retro's....

nice one Reece!
